Miller and HolUster — New Mammals Collected in Celebes. 99 



Specimens examined.— 'Nine, all from Middle Celebes, as follows: Goen- 

 oeng Lehio, 1 ; Koelawi, 1 ; Pinedapa, 5; Rano Rano, 2. 



Remarks. — This subspecies reaches its extreme form in the high moun- 

 tains of the interior of Middle Celebes. Specimens from Pinedapa near the 

 coast of the Gulf of Tomini, near Mapane, show an approach toward the 

 typical race of North Celebes. 



Sciurus evidens, sp. nov. 



Type from Pulo Lembeh, off the shore of northeastern Celebes. No. 

 217,814, U. S. National Museum; skin and skull of adult 9 (teeth moder- 

 ately worn); collected January 16, 1916, by H. C. Raven; original number 

 2525. 



Diagnosis. — Like Sciurus murinus Mtiller and Schlegel, from the main- 

 land of Celebes, but paler, decidely more yellowish or rusty brown. 



Measurements. — Type: Head and body, 125 mm.; tail, 107; hind foot, 

 33. Skull of type: Greatest length, 36.3; condylobasal length, 31.8; 

 zygomatic breadth, 21.9; interorbital breadth, 13.7; nasals, 11.2; mandible, 

 22.6; maxillary toothrow, 6.2. 



Specimens examined. — Six from the type locality. 



Remarks. — The paler, more yellowish brown coloration of this form 

 makes the animal conspicuously different from the dark, richly colored 

 Sciurus murinus of the neighboring mainland of Celebes. 



Harpyionycteris celebensis, sp. nov. 



Type from Gimpoe, Middle Celebes, No. 219,349, U. S. National 

 Museum ; skin and skull of adult 9 (sagittal crest well developed) ; collected 

 August 23, 1917, by H. C. Raven; original number 3176. 



Diagnosis. — Like Harpyionycteris whiteheadi Thomas, of Mindoro, but 

 molars with crowns lower and cusps relatively higher, and pm' with a 

 conspicuous secondary cusp on each side of main outer cusp. 



Measurements. — Head and body, 153; tibia, 30; foot 29 (24) ; forearm, 90; 

 thumb (with claw), 39; third finger, 170; its metacarpal, 63; greatest length 

 of skull, 43.0; condylobasal length, 41.6; zygomatic breadth, 24.0; inter- 

 orbital constriction, 7.0; postorbital constriction, 6.2; mandible 35.0; upper 

 toothrow (exclusive of incisors), 16.6; mandibular toothrow, 17.8. 



Specimen examined. — The type. 



Remarks. — ^The Celebesian specimen of Harpyionycteris differs chiefly 

 from the type of H. whiteheadi, hitherto the only known representative of 

 the genus, in the obvious dental peculiarities just described. The external 

 measurements, particularly thumb and foot, indicate a larger animal than 

 H. whiteheadi, but the skulls of the two species are essentially identical in 

 size. There are no evident differences in color, but the hairs are lighter 

 basally than at tip in H. celebensis, while in the Philippine specimen they 

 are uniform brown throughout. 



Mr. Oldfield Thomas has kindly compared the type of Harpyionycteris 

 celebensis with that of H. whiteheadi.
